  • Apache AXIS2 Release Notes
    AXIS2 for OpenVMS I64 July 2017 1. Introduction Apache AXIS2 for OpenVMS is the core engine for web services. It is a complete redesign and rewrite of the previously used Apache AXIS SOAP stack. This release of AXIS2 for OpenVMS is based on the latest 1.7.3 release from the Apache Software Foundation, and includes various new features and bug fixes. The release also provides a prebuilt Java servlet, which can be deployed within an application server such as Tomcat. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 1.7-3 to take advantage of these improvements. This OpenVMS port of AXIS2 includes all Apache AXIS2 functionality provided by the Open Source 1.7.3 release. 2. Acknowledgements VMS Software Inc. would like to acknowledge the work of the Apache AXIS2 development team for their ongoing efforts in developing and supporting this software. 3. What’s new in this release AXIS2 Version 1.7-3 for OpenVMS is based on Apache AXIS2 1.7.3, and includes the following changes: Apache Axis2 1.7.3 is a security release that contains a fix for CVE-2010-3981. That security vulnerability affects the admin console that is part of the Axis2 Web application. The admin console now has a CSRF prevention mechanism and all known XSS vulnerabilities as well as two non-security bugs in the admin console (AXIS2-4764 and AXIS2-5716) have been fixed. Users of the AXIS2 WAR distribution are encouraged to upgrade to 1.7.3 to take advantage of these improvements. This release also fixes a regression in the HTTP client code that is triggered by the presence of certain types of cookies in HTTP responses (see AXIS2-5772).

Oliver Kopp Commenced: January ,14 2008 Completed: July, 15 2008 CR-Classification: C.2.0, C.2.1, C.2.2, C.2.4, D.2.11 Acknowledgments To my family and friends. Their support has helped me during the difficult moments. Without them this would have not been possible. To Prof. Dr. F. Leymann. For offer me the opportunity of developing this work in the Institut für Architektur von Anwendungssystemen. To Dipl.-Inf. O. Kopp. For his work, help, and supervision during these months. To Dipl.-Inf. Matthias Wieland. For his last supervision and comments. Abstract The Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is an XML based language for describing business process behaviour based on Web services. The BPEL notation includes flow control, variables, concurrent execution, input and output, transaction scoping/compensation, and error handling. These processes are executed on a BPEL engine which calls and receives messages from external parties. The BPEL process is suspended or terminated if such communication fails, not providing any detailed information about the cause. The aim of this diploma thesis is the description of the different communication faults that can be found throughout the Web Services Stack, how they are reflected and describe a general concept of fault handling. Two BPEL engines are use on this thesis “Oracle BPEL Process Manager” and “Apache ODE”.

  • Web Services & Axis2
    Web Services & Axis2 Architecture & Tutorial Ing. Buda Claudio [email protected] 2nd Engineering Faculty University of Bologna June 2007 Axis from SOAP Apache Axis is an implementation of the SOAP ("Simple Object Access Protocol") submission to W3C. Extract from the draft W3C specification: "SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchanging structured information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It is an XML based protocol that consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses." Axis2 A new architecture for Axis was introduced during the August 2004 Summit in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The new architecture on which Axis2 is based on is more flexible, efficient and configurable in comparison to Axis1.x architecture. Some well established concepts from Axis 1.x, like handlers etc., have been preserved in the new architecture. The Apache Axis2 project is a Java-based implementation of both the client and server sides of the Web services equation. Designed to take advantage of the lessons learned from Apache Axis 1.0, Apache Axis2 provides a complete object model and a modular architecture that makes it easy to add functionality and support for new Web services-related specifications and recommendations. Axis2 abilities Axis2 enables you to easily perform the following tasks: Send SOAP messages Receive and process
